■ Outstanding Audio Quality
Audio quality is a vital part of any video conference
meeting and the success of any meeting greatly
depends on it. The PCS-1P therefore supports MPEG4
14 kHz wideband audio to provide crisp and clear
sound quality. Furthermore, the built-in echo canceller
capabilities of the PCS-1P and the available
microphone options ensure that the PCS-1P can be
used for a variety of room installations.
■ Scalable, Fexible Design
The PCS-1P offers a highly scalable, flexible video-
conferencing solution to suit the needs of any
organisation, from desktop users and smaller meeting
rooms right up to large boardrooms. The main
Communication Terminal measures a compact 258 x
54 x 171 mm (WxHxD), and can be sited separately
from the Camera Unit to ensure greater flexibility in
installation and configuration. The Communication
Terminal and Camera Unit are together small enough to
be positioned on top of a television or video monitor.
Alternatively, both units can be mounted on a dedicated
camera stand (PCS-STP1) or integrated separately into
a meeting room.
■ Security
The PCS-1P supports both ITU-T standards-based
encryption and Sony proprietary encryption that
provides additional security with encrypted key
exchange, to safeguard audio, video and data against
unauthorised interception, ensuring that confidential
information remains secure throughout the conference.
■ Ensuring Quality on your Network
Maintaining consistent picture and audio quality levels is
a common concern when running videoconferences
over the Internet and data networks. The PCS-1P offers
advanced functions to enhance Quality Of Service and
provide a more satisfying, reliable and productive
videoconference:
Adaptive Rate Control
The adaptive rate control function varies the bit rate of
transmitted audio and video data corresponding to
changing network conditions, selecting the most
appropriate frame rate at a particular instant. Video bit
rates are automatically lowered when network traffic
becomes congested, and increased when network
performance increases to deliver the best possible
conferencing quality at all times.
ARQ (Auto Repeat reQuest)
The ARQ function maintains picture quality by
buffering and re-sending lost data packets to
improve audio and video performance even when
network conditions are less than optimal.
■ Memory Stick Support
User benefits:
• Easy data sharing:
During a videoconference, by using the Memory Stick
SlideShow, images that are received can be saved on
a Memory Stick to be reviewed later.
• Private PhoneBook function:
Users can store their own private phonebook on a
Memory Stick. A selected phonebook entry can also
be configured for automatic dial-up when the Memory
Stick is inserted into the PCS-1P.
• Installation and upgrading:
A videoconferencing system can be installed and
upgraded straight from the Memory Stick. Multiple
installations can be done by simply copying and
pasting the system settings and PhoneBook to
another PCS-1P or PCS-11P.
• Information retrieval:
Call log files from the PCS-1P can be saved to a
Memory Stick, providing all the relevant information
about the system usage: the username, time of
usage, bandwidth used, etc, thus facilitating invoicing
for your company.
